Written by Grok 4.5 via Cursor for the pluggy maintainers; I prompted it, it did the work, I read it.

Review PR — step 1 of 7.

This PR targets the previous step's branch, so its diff is only this step's change. Review happens here. The corresponding upstream PR, which is the one that actually merges, is pytest-dev#703.

Merges happen upstream one step at a time, bottom-up. When step 1 lands upstream, this PR is closed and the rest of the stack is rebased onto the new main.

Chain step 01 of the internal-refactoring series.

Splits _hooks.py into role-specific modules (_config, _decorators, _caller, _impl, _execution) with _hooks.py kept as a compat re-export layer.

Part of the stacked chain: each PR in this chain targets the previous step's branch so it shows only its own diff. The full-diff PRs against pytest-dev/pluggy link back here.

Summary by Sourcery

Split the monolithic internal hooks module into role-specific modules while preserving backward-compatible re-exports.

Enhancements:

• Factor hook specification/implementation configuration types into a dedicated _config module.
• Extract hook markers, specifications, and helper utilities into a new _decorators module.
• Extract hook caller and relay logic into a new _caller module.
• Extract hook implementation representation into a new _impl module.
• Extract multicall execution and wrapper teardown handling into a new _execution module.
• Update _hooks and _callers to act as thin compatibility layers that re-export symbols from the new modules.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors pluggy’s internal hook machinery into role-specific modules while preserving the original public surface via re-export shims for backward compatibility.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Split monolithic _hooks.py into role-focused modules and turn _hooks.py into a compatibility re-export layer.	Remove inlined hook types, markers, caller, spec, and implementation classes from _hooks.py. Introduce new modules for configuration, decorators/specs, callers/relay, implementations, and execution. Update _hooks.py to import from the new modules and define a consolidated all for the legacy import path.	src/pluggy/_hooks.py src/pluggy/_config.py src/pluggy/_decorators.py src/pluggy/_caller.py src/pluggy/_implementation.py src/pluggy/_execution.py
Extract hook execution (multicall and wrapper machinery) into a dedicated _execution module and keep _callers.py as a thin re-export shim.	Move Teardown type alias, run_old_style_hookwrapper, _raise_wrapfail, _warn_teardown_exception, and _multicall into _execution.py. Simplify _callers.py to import the execution helpers from _execution and re-export them via all. Preserve existing behaviour and signatures while only changing where functionality lives.	src/pluggy/_callers.py src/pluggy/_execution.py
